Peaches sits down with Bane—combat-experienced F-15E pilot—to roast the insanity of modern warfare expectations. From Ziploc-bag bathroom breaks at 30,000 feet to the Air Force’s genius idea of “just fly 16 hours and THEN fight,” this one dives into the real limits of human performance. They rip into burnout, busted culture, risk aversion, and the coming era of human-machine teaming. Forget free massages—this is about survival, lethality, and fixing a system that breaks its people before the war even starts. If you think “human performance” is just foam rollers and protein shakes, strap in. This episode goes full throttle into Alter, the Weapons School’s vision to rebuild warfighters for the fights nobody’s rehearsed.
